Unanswered: Mailsend program

Hi All,

I have installed SQL Server 2005 and created a job. I made the job failed to test the mailsend program. The notification step that uses the mailsend succeeded but I did not get an email. I am using mailsend program on SQL Server 2000 and it works fine. I am really stomped and don't know what to do to fix it?

what are you using to send mail? xp_sendmail? xp_smtpmail? CDOSYS? CDONTS?

I feel stomped everyday.

If one brings so much courage to this world the world has to kill them or break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. Earnest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms.

is the agent using a network account mapped to an exhange mail profile?

have you tested sending mail directly from the mail client?

have you started a sql mail client session with xp_startmail?

On SQL Server 2005 use sp_senddbmail. It sends mail using SMTP and uses service broker for queuing mails to be sent. No need for Outlook on the server anymore, and the mail sending process is 100% asyncronous.
